“Simplicity is not the answer,’ countered Mr. McCarthy. He conceded that Rappahannock’s approach to carrying out the state mandate for family transfer may seem unnecessarily complicated but said what is needed is “better legislation out of Richmond.”
In fact, Mr. McCarthy questioned the constitutionality of the very concept, asking why a landowner with children or living parents should be entitled to subdivision rights denied a land owner who is childless or whose par ents have died.
He maintained that the controlling 1962 date for lots of record is traditionally used throughout Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision regulations since that was the date when the county’s first land use laws were adopted. Further, the “five-cut rule” has been in effect for 16 years, its inclusion as a limit on familytransfers has “a clear relation to law,” Mr. McCarthy said.
